Verdict

MILOSAM arrives in fine form chasing a hat trick of course victories. He's upped 10lb but won easily over track and trip last month and can go in again. Pod had pushed the selection close earlier but failed to complete on his latest start while Moorland Sunset also ran well at Sedgefield before a below par effort last time. Phone Home has shown nothing over fences so far and Decimus was pulled-up in both previous attempts at chasing.
